085 Failed to bewitch(1/2)
Chapter 085 Failed to Bewitch These were all said by Ling Wensheng. Wang didn’t know, but it was precisely because of these rumors that Wang was a little disgusted with Ling Wenming talking about borrowing money.
"Lao Qi, your eldest brother is not at home. Sister-in-law, I...you know, I don't know where your eldest brother put the money, so I'm really sorry." In fact, Mrs. Wang's heart is very soft.
Only she could come up with such an excuse.
Ling Wenming obviously didn't believe it, and said eagerly: "Sister-in-law, I really found a good idea. I don't need a lot of money, only fifty taels of silver will be enough." Finally, when Ling Wenming remembered it, his mother told him
Then, Qi Qi said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, when will the silver that Mom said your family should get come over to her? Yue Shi is still waiting for the money."
As soon as she heard about Deng's family, Wang's heart felt very unhappy. I'm afraid she was the only one who could be so confident about asking for money. No matter how unhappy Wang was, after all, she said, just take the money and treat it as your own money.
peace.
"I understand this. Lao Qi, I have to feed the pigs. You can sit by yourself for a while." Wang stood up and prepared to go out.
Ling Wenming was anxious. He took a few steps to stand in front of Mr. Wang and said hurriedly: "Sister-in-law, please stop. Sister-in-law, do you believe me? As long as I make money this time, will I pay you three cents of interest?"
Sister-in-law, if this doesn’t work, can I bring the things over as collateral?"
Mrs. Wang was confused in her heart. It was the business in Shenyang that caused Ling Wenming to pay so much blood and even asked for a mortgage. Stopping, Mrs. Wang asked: "Old Qi, what business are you going out for?"
Ling Wenming proudly patted his chest and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid that you know that I and others are going to go to Sichuan to get some salt to sell in partnership. This is a business that costs ten cents or even tens of cents.
.Sister-in-law, I promise you that within half a year, I promise to return you one hundred taels of silver, how about it?"
Mrs. Wang was a little moved. The salt they eat here is sold in places designated by the government. Not only is it ridiculously expensive, but the salt is still a big piece, which makes it difficult to cook. And if it is like what Lao Qi said, it will take half a year.
You can earn twice as much money. The money in that house...
But when she thought of Ling Wenming's criminal record, Wang's little flame that had just been ignited was extinguished. She said perfunctorily: "Lao Qi, we should wait until your elder brother comes back to discuss this matter. Your sister-in-law and I are from a womanly family, so old
How can you make your own decisions about things?"
Ling Wenming walked away, muttering as he walked: "Who are you kidding? I didn't know you knew how to read. You are basically the one who makes the decision in my brother's family. At this time, he said that you can't make the decision. Bah, you're so fake.
Just wait, you will come to beg me one day."
In the evening, Mrs. Wang specially asked Xiaosi to find Ling Tianyang. After hearing what Ms. Wang said, Ling Tianyang was shocked. He grabbed Mr. Wang's hand and said, "Mom, don't go out and talk nonsense about this matter in the future.
, our family will never get involved in this matter, you know?"
Wang frowned, "Yangyang, why are you..."
"Mom, I know what you want to ask. You have never been out and don't know that salt and iron are prohibited from being sold by the imperial court. If you are caught, it is a serious crime! If my uncle comes to talk to you again, please tell me.
Let’s tell my uncle not to be blinded by money.”
Ling Tianyang didn't expect that Ling Wenming was so ambitious and dared to pay attention to salt. She was so bold. Although Ling Tianyang didn't know the laws of the dynasty, she knew that those who dared to sell salt and iron privately would be severely punished.
.What kind of background does Ling Wenming have? He has nothing and dares to do such a thing. He is really desperate.
The next day, Ling Wenming came again, this time with Mr. Xiong and Mr. He. Ms. Wang put down the pig food bucket, wiped her hands on her apron, and looked at the three of them, feeling surprised for a moment.
"Why are you three here together?" Mrs. Wang picked up the pig food bucket again and turned to go to the kitchen.
Ling Wenming smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, let's talk for a while, I believe you will agree." Ling Wenming's confidence came from unknown sources, and he smiled brightly. His yellow teeth were particularly conspicuous in the winter sun.
It's very interesting to walk up and down.
"Isn't that right? Sister-in-law, our family's current situation is not good. Since Lao Qi has such a way, we also want to make some money to celebrate the New Year. Oh, don't tell me, I haven't even prepared the New Year's gift for returning to my parents' home.
." Mr. Xiong's face was bright, and he must have been surprised by Ling Wenming's promise.
After Mrs. Wang cleaned up the kitchen, she led them to the outhouse, smiled at the three of them and said, "Lao Qi, I'll ask Xiao Si to call Yang Yang back. One more person can help."
Ling Wenming was naturally very happy after hearing this. Now he just can't get the money. Both his mother and father have agreed to lend him their coffin books. The third sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law each contributed thirty taels of silver. In total, he now has
It seems that the sister-in-law's family is rich now. Some people say that his sister-in-law's family is the richest family in Bajiaowo. If the sister-in-law is willing, she can make up at least two or three hundred taels. Ling Tianyang is naturally ignored by Ling Wenming.
Lost it. It is said that the Yan family is the poorest family in Bajiaowo. I am afraid that Ling Tianyang doesn’t have much money. The man said that if he can collect 500 taels of silver, he will give himself 30% of the profit and 30% of the profit.
Ah, one cent of profit is almost one thousand taels of silver, and three points of profit is three thousand taels of silver. After excluding the capital and the money promised to repay the sisters-in-law, I can make a net profit of more than two thousand taels.
Ling Wenming seemed to have seen more than two thousand taels of silver shining and waved to him.
When the mistress came to call Ling Tianyang, Ling Tianyang was discussing with Yan Tianyu and Yan Tiannan in the room. It was a skirt made of cloth with small pink flowers. The skirt was rolled with white lace according to Ling Tianyang's request.
Ling Tianyang meant to sew a flower on the right shoulder of the skirt, and Yan Tianyu meant to sew a flower on the left. The two argued about this for a long time. Seeing Xiao Si coming to him, Ling Tianyang had already anticipated what was going on and ordered
Xiaosi and Xiao Baozi were playing at their house, and Yan Tiannan asked Yan Tiannan to take a look at the two little ones before he went back to Ling's house.
As soon as they entered the yard, they heard Ling Wenming say loudly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this is definitely a way to make money, and I won't let you suffer."
Ling Tianyang raised his eyebrows, entered the room, saw three people sitting around the charcoal brazier, and called out: "Third aunt, fourth aunt, uncle."
When Ling Wenming saw Ling Tianyang, he was obviously even more excited. He even boasted about what he saw and heard outside and talked about the prosperity outside, which attracted several women to yearn for it and hoped that one day, like Ling Wenming said, he could go there
I bought rouge at the most expensive rouge shop in Qingxiang County. I hope to have a meal at the most expensive restaurant in Fucheng. I also hope that one day I can go to the capital and see the prosperity at the feet of the emperor. Anyway, Ling Wenming tried his best to provide the He family and the Xiong family as much as possible.
A woman weaved a beautiful dream and asked them to lend him their money willingly.
Ling Tianyang remained silent at first, listening expressionlessly to Ling Wenming's bragging. Only when Ling Wenming asked to borrow money from the Wang family again did he speak.
As soon as Ling Wenming finished speaking, He said: "Sister-in-law, if you lent so much money to Lao Qi, why don't you lend me some too? The four girls in our family all need to eat."
Mrs. Xiong rubbed her hands on the stool and said embarrassedly: "Sister-in-law, I also want to borrow some money." After finishing speaking, she found Mrs. Wang looking at her, and Mrs. Xiong continued to explain: "Lao San's business
It failed, and my family owes a lot of debt, and I also want to send Tianhong to school."
Ling Tianyang looked at Mr. He and Mr. Xiong indifferently, ignored them, and said to Ling Wenming: "Uncle, did you come up with this business yourself or did someone else want to get you involved?"
Ling Wenming was bragging about how awesome he was just now, so no one in the family knew the truth about this matter. Now that a little girl brought it up, Ling Wenming felt a little embarrassed and still said with force: "Of course, of course.
I thought of it myself."
Seeing Ling Wenming's expression, Ling Tianyang knew that her brother-in-law was a little smart, and he was not that smart. Usually people who did this kind of thing were either desperadoes or people with big backers. Her brother-in-law had nothing.
The farmer didn't know why the man behind him fell in love with her brother-in-law. Could it be that... Ling Tianyang behind him couldn't even imagine that if this was really the case, her brother-in-law brought it to the Ling family.
It's not just about losing money.
"Uncle, do you know about Yantie Official Camp?" Ling Tianyang suddenly changed the topic and asked directly and frankly.
Ling Wenming was shocked. How did a little girl from Ling Tianyang know about Yantieguan camp? Not to mention her, even He family, Xiong family and even his third and fourth brothers may not know. How did she know?
? Although the salt seller in the town was not marked as a government business, everyone in the upper class knew it, so for so many years, there was only that salt seller in Zhaofu Town. Ling Wenming moved his eyes away in fear. Of course he knew about it after he had been outside for so many years.
Yantie is a government-run company, otherwise, how could it have made such a profit?
Seeing that Ling Wenming's expression was wrong, He and Xiong suddenly turned pale and stared nervously at Ling Tianyang. Xiong had a cowardly mouth and asked: "Yangyang, is there something wrong?"
Bar?"
Ling Tianyang sneered and said: "Of course it's wrong, and it's very wrong. I know you guys want to make money, but you also have to see if you can spend your life after making it. Salt and iron are run by the government, and the imperial court has explicitly prohibited private practices.
It is a felony to sell salt and iron privately. If you are caught, it is a serious crime. Third aunt, fourth aunt, if you don't believe it, you can go to the town and ask some educated people, or you can also ask Mr. Wu, he is a scholar
, it’s impossible for him not to know about this.”
"What?" Mr. Xiong was frightened all of a sudden, and his body fell back involuntarily. Fortunately, he stabilized himself quickly.
He's face was also pale. They, a family of women, had only been to the town a few times at most, and had never been to big places. They didn't know that such a thing existed, so they quietly took the family's money.
Men don't know that if they don't make any money, they will be in trouble if they get into a lawsuit.
"Lao Qi, did you lie to us?" He pointed at Ling Wenming and complained tremblingly.
Ling Wenming looked panicked and pointed at Ling Tianyang and said: "Yangyang, what are you talking about? How could it be... Mr. Jiang wouldn't lie to me? He said that doing this is a huge profit, even if the government knows about it.
It doesn't matter, Mr. Jiang is here to support him, so it will be fine." Ling Wenming didn't know whether he was comforting He and Xiong, or himself.
"Uncle, I don't know who Mr. Jiang you are talking about, but I would like to give you some advice on this matter. You must know that the people who do this are usually either desperadoes or dignitaries. If you don't know the other person,
When it comes to your identity, it’s better not to mix things up randomly. If you accidentally become someone else’s scapegoat, we don’t have any background. Then we will really die unjustly, don’t you think?”
Ling Wenming was frightened by Ling Tianyang's words; his face was pale, his hands hidden in his sleeves were shaking slightly, his lips were trembling, and he no longer looked as high-spirited as before.
He and Xiong were so angry that they immediately said: "Lao Qi, we trust you so much, but we didn't expect that you would actually harm us. You and your third and fourth brothers are brothers! Forget it, we don't either
I told you to return the thirty taels of silver to us."
Mr. Xiong was smart and didn't say anything. As soon as Mr. He said it, he regretted it. Because everyone had just heard it clearly, Mr. He gritted his teeth and said, "I borrowed the thirty taels of silver from my father when I went back to my parents' house."
This approach seems a bit superfluous to Ling Tianyang, but it is none of her business, as long as she doesn't provoke their family.
Mr. Xiong was silent for a while and said, "Old Qi, please return my money to me. I still need to buy a New Year's gift. My family's favors are not ready yet." Ms. Xiong didn't say how much it was, and Mr. He hated it.
He glared at Mrs. Xiong with hatred, and then said: "That's right, Lao Qi, the thirty taels you borrowed from me and the thirty taels from the third sister-in-law can be returned to us now."
He wanted to drag Xiong into the water, but Xiong gave He a hateful look and said nothing.
Ling Wenming was upset. He had just found a way out, but it was blocked so quickly. No one else could feel comfortable. Hearing the voices of these women, Ling Wenming lost his temper and stood up suddenly.
He took out a bag of silver from his arms, threw it to Mr. He and Mr. Xiong, and said angrily: "Give it back to you, give it back to you all. Take it and get out of here, I don't want to see you."
Ling Tianyang had never seen Ling Wenming like this before, and he didn't expect him to have such a bad temper. He and Xiong quickly picked up the bags on the ground, quickly divided the money, and after telling Wang, they went out quickly.
.
Ling Wenming didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. He was furious at this time. Wang didn't want to get into trouble, so she winked at Ling Tianyang and turned around to go out.
Ling Wenming stayed alone at Ling Tianyang's house for a long time. Ling Tianyang was bored and went out for a walk alone. Wang was picking eggs from the chicken coop. When he saw Ling Tianyang coming out, Wang took Ling Tianyang's hand and asked, "Your uncle
Still in there?"
